About the Role
Here at Deichmann we are looking to appoint a Trainee Manager to support our store in Lakeside, and the surrounding area.
You will join us on a full time, permanent basis and in return will receive an initial salary of £31,500 per annum.
Initially based in a store on the district, following training you will support and hold stores either on a planned or adhoc basis across the surrounding area.
These stores include Lakeside, Southend, Basildon, Chelmsford, Stratford and Ilford.
You must be able to drive, due to the travel involved in this role.
Ideal Candidate
This is a really exciting opportunity for a successful and ambitious Team Member or Supervisor, looking to progress their career into Store Management.
You will undergo first class training and development, including holding stores on a planned and ad hoc basis with a view to you potentially becoming a Cover Manager at the end of your training, and then potentially on to becoming Store Manager of your own Store.
You must be fully flexible in terms of travel as you will be working in a number of different stores and you will have previous experience of working in retail or a related sector.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
